Source: AgWeb. If you are interested (as I am) in Real Estate , then allow me to suggest you consider exploring the world of Farmland. It is something I have done for a while, and it is a fascinating rabbit hole to fall into.

A reader asks: Recently my father passed away leaving roughly $150k to me as an inheritance and I’m trying to figure out if I should save or invest it. I’m 26 years old and served 4 years as an army officer. I will be separating honorably soon where I’ll go back to school and may need to access these funds. I also may use them to buy a future house or get married.

Is this chart going up or down? It’s not a trick question. Just look at it and tell me what primary the trend is. You’d be amazed at how many financial advisors, insurance brokers acting as financial advisors, financial planners, wirehouse wealth managers, financial consultants and other assorted intermediaries in this business could not for the life of them look at this chart and give you a straight answer.

First Half 2022, NBER Edition. The debate between the official NBER determination of a recession and the 2Qs approach has been endlessly discussed. Rather than spill more pixels on this, I will instead direct you to the Menzie Chin chart above (hat tip Invictus ). You can see why the NBER does not rely on GDP (pink line) alone; GDP was slightly negative, while Manufacturing and Trade Sales were more negative.

There were a lot of predictions at the outset of the pandemic about how the world would be changed forever. Some were kind of right. Others were very wrong. So it goes with these things. The one that never made sense to me is how colleges were going to get disrupted by online classes once students saw how pointless it was to go to class. If anything, the pandemic proved how necessary it is for young people to interact wit.

Historically, financial advisors have relied on word of mouth and cold-calling to generate new leads and grow their business, but consumer preferences have changed. Today’s consumers generally don’t respond well—if at all—to cold calls, and online business reviews have become the new word of mouth.

Fed Chair Jerome Powell is serious about bringing down inflation: Restoring price stability will take some time and requires using our tools forcefully to bring demand and supply into better balance. Reducing inflation is likely to require a sustained period of below-trend growth. Moreover, there will very likely be some softening of labor market conditions.

You don’t have to go checking to see all the other performances from last night’s Music Video Awards on MTV, you can just take my word for it – RHCP was the highlight.

The unofficial end of Summer is here. Labor Day may just be a 3 (or 4) day weekend to you but in the rosy glow of nostalgia, it marked when the freedom of Summer came to a bittersweet close, and the regimented structure of school soon followed. As investors, we understand the impact of seasonality (overstated though it may be) and the return of participants to the market in full. we see this in liquidity and flows as well as more people in the office and the city (though who knows what the post-

There are many types of accounts for individuals to employ as part of their saving and investment plan – IRAs, HSAs, FSAs, 529 plans, and more. However, there is one account that we haven’t covered before and doesn’t get a lot of attention when considering the alphabet soup of account types – an ABLE account. And while ABLE accounts can be a bit more complex for Wisconsin residents, they offer significant tax benefits for individuals with disabilities and their families.
